Define Symmetry

Define a symmetry plane on a part.

Guidelines for creating a symmetry plane:
  • The symmetry plane must be orthogonal to the draw direction of the model.
  • The symmetry plane must not be parallel to any existing symmetry planes in the model.
  1. On the Tryout tab, select the Add/Edit Symmetry Planes tool in the Constraints tool group.
  2. On the model, select an edge on a plane. The selected edge must be on a plane and the plane must be orthogonal to the draw direction if the draw direction is defined.
    A preview of the symmetry plane is displayed if the selection is valid.
  3. Click to confirm the selection.
